I'd say so... even flicking back to my clio forum that I used hardly anyone does 'headwork' or cams.... someone developed a nice inlet manifold using jenvey trumpets - but as a fitted kit it was about 200% the price of the base Clio for 'just' 20bhp or so.

Yeh bloody expensive these days to do much with a na car, easier to shove in a bigger engine or get a turbo'd one. Some like the Mk2 1.8 16v gti engine is a good motor with good power and can take a chip and that and it does make a difference but still pricey compared to a 1.8t with a remap.
